*********
Just in case you're having a rough day, here is a stress management
technique recommended in all the latest psychological texts. The funny
thing is that it really works. 
Sit in a quiet place. Make sure you will not be disturbed. Loosen any
tight clothing. 
Picture yourself near a Philmont stream, maybe the Rayado. Birds are
softly chirping in the cool mountain air. No one but you knows your
secret place. 
You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called the world. The
sun is glistening off the gently swaying pine branches. 
You are safe. You are quiet. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall
fills the air with a cascade of serenity. 
The mountain water is crystal clear. You can easily make out the face of
the person you're holding under the water.
